rbaguley Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hey all, I am trying to do two things in a program: click on a button, then select two items from a list that appears. However, I am having problems with the former as the button has no caption (lazy programmers, I expect). The button has no caption, so I have tried using the handle property instead. However, that doesnt seem to be working. I'm using the following code: CODE ControlClick ("List Items", "","[HANDLE:00A044E]") Winspy reports the Handle as being the "00A044E" as listed above. What am I doing wrong there? I also need to select two items from a list that's in a ListBox, but I can't find any sample code on doing this. Anybody got any to hand?

That will not work twice because handles are unique to the running instance and change every time. Use AutoIt's AU3Info.exe and get the control ID number, or ClassNameNN, or X/Y coords instead. See "Controls" in the help file for all the ways you can identify them. P.S. Just for academic sake: You can use the handle if you get it this way: $hButton = HWND("00A044E") ControlClick ("List Items", "", $hButton) But, as I said before, this will have to be recoded every instance because the handle will change, so it is next to useless.

rbaguley Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 awesome! Using the combination of class name and instance worked. Now, how do I select the items from the listBox, based on the text they contain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, how do I select the items from the listBox, based on the text they contain?You can try ControlListView(), in the help file.If it gets more complicated you go with the _GUICtrlListView_* UDFs, like _GUICtrlListView_FindInText() and _GUICtrlListView_ClickItem(), again they are in the help file.
